[QUOTE="muhtalicbloo, post: 4070121, member: 38688"] okay two different occasions. first a well known mechanic and racing family around my area. 85 LX w/ a 5.0 block. Stock block/Stock internals/colder plugs/glide tranny/9" w/ 4.56 gears 250,000 miles. guys were turning it into an all drag car and pulling it off the street. ran a 150 shot hoping the motor would blow so they could build a new one. (they already have a low 5.10 71 challenger and a 5 flat railcar ford bigblock (both sponsored/ford mechanics) so these guys know what they're doing. 150 shot wouldn't blow the motor...bumped up to 175...then to 200...finally to 250...made it through a whole season w/ a 250 shot...after that they gave up and said **** it and pulled the motor cuz it wouldn't blow. now they're rebuilding the car. this car was gutted and ran low 6's in the 1/8th (the other two cars are also 8th mile cars) second story a good friend of mine street strip car...87 GT 5.0 stock block (145,000 miles) running a 175 shot every weekend, 4.10's w/ a detroit locker 8.8...semi gutted no cage (coming this december) hoosier dr's in rear w/ skinnies up front mounted on welds/ 90-10 suspension/ glide tranny w/ pistol grip hurst shifter...this car pulls wheelies believe it or not and runs mid 7's all day long...once again just tryin to blow the motor so he can find time to put a custom built 408 w/ a dual stage in it. so yes i say it will handle the shot but every motor is different [/QUOTE]
